Washburn Nuno Bettencourt Nele Standard Electric Guitar with Hard Case, Natural

What sets the Nuno Bettencourt Nele Standard Electric Guitar apart is its unique blend of vintage inspiration and modern innovation, a result of the latest collaboration between Nuno Bettencourt and Washburn. This distinctive instrument boasts a natural-grain swamp ash body, a material known for its lightness and resonance, delivering firm lows, pleasant highs, and slightly scooped mids for an excellent sustain.

Equipped with a Seymour Duncan Vintage Stack in the neck position and a Bill Lawrence L-250 bridge pickup, the Nele Standard offers a rich, warm, and punchy tone, free from the traditional single coil hum. Handcrafted in Santa Barbara, California, the Seymour Duncan Vintage Stack is designed to provide a classic tone, while the Bill Lawrence L-250 offers the dynamics and sound of a single coil with the warmth and cleanliness of a humbucker.

The Nele Standard's innovative 6-way "Freeway Ultra" switch is a game-changer, offering players access to three common settings and three additional hot-rod options. This new tone switch opens up a world of creative possibilities, as attested by Nuno Bettencourt himself, who has already used it in the new Extreme album.

Each Nele Standard Electric Guitar is custom-built in the Washburn USA custom shop, ensuring the highest quality and performance. With its multitude of tones and faster, more enticing feel than its predecessors, the Nuno Bettencourt Nele Standard Electric Guitar with Hard Case is a testament to the fusion of tradition and innovation in the world of music.
